Solaris bled

Solaris Bled is a video work set in the universe of Stanisław Lem’s Solaris, depicting a forgotten planetary colony isolated for 3,000 years. Through AI-generated imagery (Stable Diffusion’s img2img), the video portrays surreal, hallucinatory experiences of colonists entangled biologically and psychologically with the sentient, shifting planet. Exploring themes of colonization, memory, and blurred distinctions between life and death, Solaris Bled frames Solaris as a living archive of humanity’s unsuccessful cosmic expansion.
